  1. I don't give a damn about storyline reasons for him being right-handed, it's a matter of principle that Link is left handed. He's left-handed in Brawl, isn't he? It was always something I could connect with in him as a character... I'll deal with right-handedness, I just wish Nintendo had given me an option...
    Most incarnations of Link are left-handed.

    Most, not all. I guess the option would've been nice, but wouldn't it conflict with cutscenes and what not? I mean, when drawing the master sword, they'd have to alter the cutscene... I guess an option would be doable and good.

    Wikipedia is wrong. Every single Link was intended to be left-handed. The only time Link isn't left-handed is due to sprite-flipping in LoZ, LttP, and the handheld games. Other than that, Link is always a lefty.

    Uhh... So he's not a lefty in those game right? He's at least ambidexter. My point is that Link, as a character, does not have the fact that he's a lefty or righty defined.

    He's left-handed when facing three of the four cardinal directions. The only time he isn't is when he's facing east due to sprite flipping issues. Miyamoto is a lefty, and rumors are out there (I haven't been able to find anything concrete yet) that Link's name comes from linkshandig, German for left-handed. I'm pretty sure he's intended to be left-handed no matter what.

    My major complaint isn't that he's right-handed in Twilight Princess - that just makes sense for the mostly right-handed population. My problem is that there's no option to change him back to a lefty.

    This makes sense since The Legend of Zelda was inspired by Miyamoto's childhood. So I don't doubt that he was intentionally left-handed because he is too.

    And here i was thinking that he got his name because he was the link between you and the world, since Link isn't the hero. The player is.

    Just a rumor, nothing confirmed. But I like where this thread is going. Might I mention that Tatl and Tael's names combined are also a pun?

    I just wanted to contribute to this ever growing spiral of replies.

  2. Tell me all the wrong points in this video review:

    http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1684

    It's the first video. Is the game this unbalanced?

    I haven't played it yet, but that review does seem quite strong to the point that it is almost an attack on the game. He made the game sound like a complete pile of crap; overextended, disappointing story with two dimensional characters and poor repetitive gameplay. The opposite of what every other reviewer says. Nevertheless, if you go to gameranking you find only one reviewer goes below the 90% mark.

  3. Except he's in Hell. Kind of hard to see that it's a tribute from that.

    It's a running gag in South Park's world. They've long since maintained the in-joke that only Mormon's go to Heaven. Everyone else goes to hell. You even see people like Gandhi and Jesus down there at times.

    Except Saddam Hussein. Going to heaven is a punishment for anyone who isn't a Mormon. Satan didn't like Saddam because he bullied him and was not a kind lover. So he sent him to heaven, his eternal punishment being forced to make macaroni sculptures. So it's a good thing he went to hell.

  4. Didn't get many kicks out of it, until the stupidity of the plot came together at the end. Laughed at the toilet humor though, always good. On a scale of south park goodness, 4/10.

    Edit: O yeah, for the last time, though the heat emitted from the fuel is not high enough to cause the steel to melt, it weakens it enough to cause major structural damage, resulting in the collapse of the buildings.
